Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Queens rap collective unleashed their third studio album with an unrelenting, ferocious energy. Heavily featuring unpolished, grimy boom-bap production and high-profile guest appearances from DMX and a young 50 Cent, the record remains a definitive staple of 90s East Coast hardcore hip-hop aggression.
